By Cyril dela Rama

Harvard Business School Publishing (HBSP), the highly regarded publisher of premier online leadership and management programs, recently launched a partnership that promises to offer Indonesian managers opportunities to learn new skills necessary to compete in a global business setting. The partnership with PT. John Clements Consultants, Indonesia’s highly-regarded training and recruitment firm, addresses a growing need for management talent with globally competitive functional and leadership skills. The country finds itself competing in the global economy and it will only be able to do it effectively if its managers possess talents & skills that will enable them to compete on a global basis.  HBSP’s best-in-class leadership and management training programs will help them face up to these global challenges, said Andi Mohammad Hatta, President Director of PT. John Clements.

According to Peter McAteer, Vice President and Managing Director of Corporate Learning at HBSP, “the biggest challenge for Indonesia is to keep up with the pace of growth. As firms get bigger and have more diverse services, the leadership challenges also grow. One way to create sustainable growth is to continuously upgrade the skills of the talent pool through management and leadership training.”

HBSP and PT. John Clements are currently offering eLearning services in three categories: performance support, facilitator design, and training.

Specific eLearning products include Harvard ManageMentor®, HBSP’s popular online performance support tool for management and leadership. Harvard ManageMentor® is a just-in-time, desktop reference tool covering business topics ranging from communications to working with individuals to strategy implementation.

HBSP is also offering its vast collection of case studies and training courses aimed at helping learning facilitators expand manager skill sets, while honing leadership skills. Organizations can choose from the myriad resources offered in the HBSP collection to create their own programs and syllabi with guidance from HBSP partner PT. John Clements.

For fast moving companies that are continually working to develop new management talent, HBSP¹s Stepping Up to Management program helps first-time managers deliver results quickly. Stepping Up to Management enables new managers to learn critical management skills while performing their day-to-day jobs. This translates to a faster and more successful transition into the new management role with minimal training time. Through interactive scenarios, as well as assessments and tools to use on the job, managers better understand what they need to do and how best to handle common management challenges. This program is designed to engage the supervisors of the new managers, leading to a learning process with much greater impact.

³We believe that by offering these world-class training programs to the Indonesian market, we are in fact taking a major step toward enhancing business and economic competitiveness,² said Andi Mohammad Hatta, who in the last two years have grown and expanded PT. John Clements’ unsurpassed and customized corporate training programs in Indonesia. We have collaborated with a couple of highly prestigious organizations to provide for the training needs of banking and other financial institutions in the areas of credit management, risk management, operational risk and other financial matters. Now we are very proud to add HBSP to this enviable roster to offer customized leadership and management programs as well.
